In the latitudes between 29 degrees north and 39 degrees north lie Iran, Tibet, Hubei China and the American Southwest. These corners of the globe prolifically produce one of the world’s perennial aesthetic delights: rare, natural turquoise. One of the oldest stones in the history of man, turquoise has had a reputation throughout history as an especially powerful talismanic gem, favored by warriors, kings and spiritual leaders.
Among these select locales is the Kingman Turquoise Mine nestled in Arizona’s Cerbat Mountains. Kingman is one of the oldest and largest turquoise mines in the world. It was mined by Native American tribes dating back more than a thousand years. This mine’s beautiful, high-quality stones feature an exquisite robin’s egg blue shade to which all other turquoise is compared. We’ve captured generous cabochons of this rare blue beauty and set it in thrones of gold-finished .925 sterling silver accented by glittering natural white zircon. A sophisticated take on a legend of the Southwest.
